Live your life

“I feel like everyone we know is out here chasing their own version of the American Dream and you and I, baby we’re just living our lives”. This sounds like a line out of a country song, doesn’t it? It’s not. D said this to me when we were on our way home from our…

What I Didn’t know

****WARNING: THIS IS A SAPPY POST. YA GIRL IS IN HER FEELS TODAY..**** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!   Last night, after all of the household chores had been done and Lee had been put to bed, D and I climbed into our bed and turned on the television. D scrolled through Hulu for a minute…

Forever and Ever, Amen

My husband and I started dating our Freshmen year of college and were married before either of us had even graduated.
